    A/C pulley seized. Compressor or clutch?

    Should still be able to spin compressor by hand if the clutch is engaged (with no belt). Would be nice if it's just a piece of belt wedged behind the compressor pulley causing the bind. Or....most likely internal compressor failure. At this point, your system can be contaminated with...

    Not yet. Been working solo at the shop and got a crazy job offer that I cant say no to. Been busy dealing with all of that. After 30 years, I'm getting out of automotive and going into pharma. Will be a process engineer and sub maint tech. Make **** and keep **** running. Haha. I'm excited!

    found a way to try and prevent catalytic converter theft

    My truck sits inside of a fence most evenings. Connected to that same fence is a cattle fence charger which has a picture of an upside down cow on fire printed on the cover. I've tested it and it f'n hurts.

    Latest software

    I'm in the same boat. Called Uconnect and said being the older version that I'm on, it won't receive the necessary over the air update. Dealer visit required. Most likely an hour charge. Call and ask your dealer. They may squeeze ya in.

    New to truck world...new to towing.

    Haha. Thanks! Best movie ever. I went the adjustable hitch route years ago. Broke bad and bought individual hitches for some of the toys. Hated having to fiddle around with it. Of course, if no wdh is being used, they do have their advantages.

    New to truck world...new to towing.

    After towing anything of significant weight, I'll never not tow without a WDH. Why? Traffic sucks. So do cell phone road zombies. Plus, as mentioned above, having a WDH looks a lot better on an insurance claim if you were to get into an accident.

    Active Air Dam Warranty Letter from FCS

    Removed mine as well after going rounds and rounds with corporate. After they denied everything, the warranty extension happened literally a few weeks later. Doubt I get it replaced. More room for train horns now. :)

    Cool, thanks. I'm on a much older version (18.23.29). Same boat... uconnect website says I'm up to date. Off to dealer I go. Tire of this display crap going wonky.

    windshield is getting wet and wind noise

    1 vote for incorrect install. My used truck had aftermarket glass when I purchased it. Installer did a wee wee poor job as the glass was improperly positioned and also lacked sealant coverage in multiple locations. Multiple water leaks at top of glass and lots of wind noise across the...

    I apologize as I told you the wrong method. On your display and at the same time, press and hold the two icons at the bottom left and bottom right of the screen for a few seconds. You'll hear a quick beep and a menu will appear. Tap system information. Tap radio part information. There is...

    Active Air Dam Warranty Letter from FCS

    Just got my letter after going rounds and rounds with corporate about them not honoring my warranty. My local dealer is great. They exhausted all sources trying to get Ram to cover it. After weeks going back and forth with Ram, apparently they're all covered now. You're welcome folks. LOL

    Active air dam failure - stuck down.

    That sir is a million dollar question. I'm guessing it is something to do with a partial load sense kinda thing. Could cause the module to ignore a certain type of fault and then treat it as a forced "diagnostic mode" for troubleshooting things that share the same driver circuit maybe? I'm...

    Active air dam failure - stuck down.

    I have a 19 as well. Had same issue. AAD motor was almost full of water. Easiest fix was to just remove it and not have to deal with it. Had mine uninstalled for several months now. No MIL illumination. Sure, a code will appear if you scan it, but it doesnt trigger the MIL. Clear the...

    Active air dam failure - stuck down.

    U11E9 usually sets when the PCM loses communication with the AGS for more than 2.6 seconds. Being the AGS and AAD share the same LIN bus for comms, the air dam is the first "checkpoint". Per the tsb, techs are instructed to first check the AAD connector and motor for water intrusion. If water...

    Lemme dig for it when I get back to work tomorrow unless someone else happens to have it.

    Active air dam failure - stuck down.

    There's a tsb on the active air damn regarding water intrusion into the connector and motor on the air dam. Only repair listed is to replace it. There's quite a few of us that have solved the persistent MIL by simply clearing the code and then unplugging the AAD motor and going on about our...
